actions have affected other people in the community, even in so-called “victimless” crimes.

“I would say that interning at court diversion has given me the opportunity to learn more about restorative

justice. I have learned so much more about the process and how it allows individuals to work together with the community to find a way to mend their offense. Court

diversion creates the opportunity for the offender to work closely the community to create a positive outcome from a

negative situation.” -Elisabeth Paige Edson

“My experience at the Chittenden County Court

Diversion was insightful. By interning with Ms. Thach I

was able to learn a different side of drug use amongst

teenagers.” -Ashley Olinder
